No matter whether the guy has been deported 3 or 5 or 10 times, it sounds like he was in fact “known” to the cops from prior incidents of shooting a rifle at that location, so why the hell don’t the liberals blame the cops for not doing something instead of trying to make it the gun’s fault?
His immigration status should have been checked, and deported for the 11th time, but in reality, the border is so porous, that people just walk across.
We spent two winters in Mercedes Tx, just two miles from the border. One of our RV friends was the head of the Del Rio Sector before retiring. He took us to places where there was no fence and deep worn foot paths where people crossed the river back and forth every day with zero restrictions, known to the border patrol for years.
Typically, they lived in Mexico and worked in the US, coming across before daylight and going back after dark. Some were kids that actually went to school in the US. The BP typically ignored that in the past as it wasn't a danger, but those in Mexico that are dangerous discovered those routes. They don't use them heavily, but randomly for nefarious reasons I'm sure.
It's been a couple years since being there, don't know if that still exists, but I can say being that close to the border, it is probably 80% hispanic population from El Paso to Brownsville, a large percentage of which can't speak our language. Mostly great people here to make a better living.
Our friend said that if they made a sweep, a whole lot of folks would be found to be undocumented and illegal, but they keep their heads down and do what they have to do to survive.
We have to seal the border to make it impossible to cross or so hard it isn't worth the effort, but it will never happen for at least a year and a half.
Even if Trump or whomever wins the office, it will take months to get the border wall started again. The supplies to finish it are still in staging grounds, but the heavy equipment, manpower and so on would have to be brought in.

Here, but occasionally There.
I don't know if anyone else has stated it here because I haven't read all of every comment, but I suspect that the shooter has already "self-deported" back into Mexico. They won't find him until he decides to return to the states, and I have no doubt that he will return once the searching cools down.

As an aside, I saw this article.

Three Times Deported Mexican Who Shot Neighbors Described by Media As “Texas Man”​

DHS chief refuses to comment on case.

A three times deported Mexican national who allegedly shot and killed five of his neighbors, including a child, is being described by the media as a “Texas man”.

The illegal immigrant is accused of gunning down five Honduran nationals on Friday night in Cleveland, Texas and is still on the run.

Francisco Oropesa’s neighbors complained that him shooting his gun in the garden was keeping their baby awake. Oropesa responded by invading their home and killing them, including an 8-year-old child.

It is now being reported that Oropesa has been deported on three occasions, with his most recent removal being in 2016.

“San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers told Breitbart Texas on Sunday that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers deported 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza, a Mexican national now wanted for five alleged murders, in three separate incidents. Sheriff Capers and other sources advised that the last time ICE officers removed Oropeza was in 2016.”

As Chris Menahan notes, unlike other mass shootings when the suspect is white, the media seem loathe to accurately describe or portray Oropesa.

“The controlled media are all going out of their way to avoid using Oropeza’s photos, choosing instead to share pictures of empty homes and white cops in the area standing around,” he writes.

“Why do New York Times articles about nonwhite fugitive mass murderers on the run usually lack photos of the armed and dangerous suspect, but instead feature photos of white men standing around?” asked one Twitter user. “And why nothing on Francisco Oropeza’s immigration status?”

Despite there being numerous mugshots showing Oropesa, the media appears to be unwilling to use them and keeps referring to him as a “Texas man”.
